Why a Trump Presidency was Inevitable: a Critical Reinterpretation of American History
2025-12-08 13:00 - 15:00, 2025-12-15 13:00 - 15:00 | The Centre, 10052-117 St. NW, Edmonton, Alberta, T5K 1X2, Canada
Instructor: Professor Emeritus Alvin Finkel, Ph.D. Fee: Members $65 | Non-Members $75
Liberal critics of Donald Trump suggest that his regime amounts to a rejection of the “liberal order” that the United States supposedly stood for in past decades and centuries. From that point of view, the retrograde policies of Donald Trump represent the overthrow of the United States as a beacon of democracy and enlightened thought. This course suggests that such viewpoints are based on carefully designed mythologies of the pre-Trump United States that don’t stand up to historical scrutiny. The course takes a close look at the United States from the founding of the Thirteen Colonies to the Civil War to the world wars, the Cold War, and the Cold War aftermath to search for the precedents that have created the openly anti-democratic, paranoid, racist, and misogynistic Trump regime. The course does not deal with Trump himself or his time in government, but rather with the realities of pre-Trump America that should have prepared us for what is now happening in the United States and with the United States’ dealings with the rest of the world.

Why are cancers so hard to cure?
2025-12-09 13:00 - 15:00, 2025-12-16 13:00 - 15:00 | The Centre, 10052-117 St. NW, Edmonton, Alberta, T5K 1X2, Canada
Instructor: Prof. Emerita Mary Hitt | Fee: Members $36 | Non-Members $46
Although “cancer” is really over 200 different diseases, there are some characteristics, called “Hallmarks of Cancer” (a term coined by D. Hanahan and R. Weinberg), that cancers have in common. These Hallmarks of Cancer are characterized by the loss of regulation of specific processes that are under tight control in normal cells and tissues. Dr. Hitt’s lectures will provide an introduction to the Hallmarks of Cancer, highlighting the challenges they pose to conventional and modern cancer therapies.
Dr. Mary Hitt is an Associate Professor, Emerita, recently retired from the Department of Oncology at the University of Alberta. She obtained her PhD in Biochemistry at University of California in Berkeley, California (USA) in 1986, and was post-doctoral fellow at the Royal Postgraduate Medical School in London (UK), the University of Washington in Seattle (USA), and McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario.
